Bathing Beach 2012-02-08 The Gänslhäufel island is a favorite swimming area in Vienna - easily reached by public transportation, it is surrounded by the almost still waters of the "Alte Donau" - a cut-off arm of the Danube. In summer, the place is packed. Now one can walk across the ice and get onto the island for free. Still very cold here, and this is our first real snow.

Autumn Colors 2011-11-05 A shot from last Monday, before the high fog arrived. This autumn has been spectacular, and an afternoon's walk in a park has been a pleasure. This is from the Kurpark Oberlaa, on Vienna's southern border. The park has many 'exotic', i.e. non-native bushes, flowers, and trees, since it was started (in 1974) as part of an international garden fair. I have to start commenting again - mea culpa!
